Approximately two dozen items were collected for the Bridges Program at West Plains High School during a charity Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament sponsored by the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) honor society chapter at Missouri State University-West Plains.
Items collected as entry fees included foodstuffs and personal hygiene, organizers said. They will be given to the Bridges Program for distribution to high school students in need.
The event took place April 24 at the Lybyer Technology Center. Twelve people participated, organizers said.
